The call

Twenty minutes, and you'll know if I'm the right fit.

FIRST

You tell me where you're going

The vision for your music, what you're hearing in your head, and what you want people to feel when it comes on.

THEN

I play you my work

So you can hear for yourself whether I'm the right musical fit, before we talk about anything else.

AFTER

You leave with a plan

Scope, timeline, and cost in plain numbers. If I'm not the right producer for it, I'll tell you on the call.

Before you book

The questions everyone asks.

What do I actually own?

All of it. Exclusive means a full buyout with no expiration and no backend royalties. Once the record is yours, that instrumental is never sold or licensed to anyone else.

What does it cost?

It depends on how many live players the song needs, which is the honest answer and also the reason there's no price on this page. We work that out on the call once I've heard the song.

What if I don't have a song yet?

That's one of the three normal starting points. Some artists come with nothing but a sound in their head, some have something they started on guitar or piano, and some have a full demo over a leased beat that they want rebuilt into their own record.

Do I need to be in a studio?

No. We work in real time on Muse from wherever you are, and you are in the session live with the players while they record, so you hear the record come together as it happens.

Why not just hire session musicians myself?

You can. The musicians are the instrument. The record is the thing we're making, and knowing which four players out of a dozen belong on your specific song is twenty years of playing and a few hundred sessions worth of judgment.
